For anyone wondering, Mick Foley has said he estimates somewhere around 20 or 30 concussions. (Admittedly he didn't consider them concussions until after his retirement when talking with doctors about what constitutes a concussion. Before that he counted them at like a handful)

It was about a chemical attack on Hmong people that Radiolab investigated and decided it was actually bee poop, used as a political tool by Reagan against the Soviets & ramp up his own chemical production.

The controversy stems from a pretty insensitive interview with a survivor, and discounting his story and experience, portraying him as just some narrow-minded random villager instead of a documenter for the Thai government and knowledgeable of the local bee population.

Sure -- but you're saying the existence of market forces means they can't be trusted. Everyone deals with the same market forces and they will for the foreseeable future. So it seems if you want to continue consuming news from anywhere, it requires 1) a higher standard of what is defined as an error and 2) a different way of assessing whether something is just for the clicks or a run of the mill error.
